Having Trouble with Gestures

Trying to use gestures with M1 computer. Can't seem to get it to work at all, everything default setting. Just trying to add a two finger universal Touch Bar gesture to get the brightness down, and sliding on the Touch Bar doesn't do anything. Any help? Thanks

The Touch Bar swipe gestures are recognized at a pretty low level and it might be possible the M1 models have different Touch Bars. I haven't been able to get my hands on one of them yet.

Could you try to run this terminal command and post the output?

hidutil list

No worries, just want to know if it's a device limitation or something I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Gesture are working great on my m1 pro!

are you sure? The above comments are talking about gestures on the Touch Bar.

Yea, 2-finger slides for volume and 3-finger slides for brightness are working fine on my M1 touchbar.

Very interesting, which version of BTT (and macOS) are you using?

BTT version 3.508 (1646)
Big Sur 11.1

Another user figured out that on his m1 MBP the Touch Bar is recognized by BTT as a Magic Trackpad 1: TrackPad Gestures in TouchBar - #3 by Vaporo

Could you confirm this? In that case it will be easy to add more advanced touch features for these!

Hi Andreas, not working for me but I am surely doing something wrong or using it wrong. Are these the settings I need configured?

Thanks

Could you check whether your Touch Bar touches are shown in the BTT Live View? (Press cmd+L to open the Live View while the BTT preferences are open).

It would also be great if you could go to Help => Export Diagnostic Debug Information, which will give me some information that will let me identify these new Touch Bars in BTT.

Yes, all Touch Bar touches are shown in the live view, multiple fingers, taps, et cetera. I have attached the log for you to look at!

Starting with 3.550 (alpha) the Touch Bar should work fine on the M1 MBP and behave like on the other models.

Previously BTT thought it was a trackpad, thus it might have triggered trackpad gestures. Now by default it doesn't trigger the gestures defined in the trackpad section in BTT anymore - but if somebody wants to experiment with them you can now explicitly make them work on the Touch Bar:

Most trackpad gestures don't work well on the Touch Bar anyways (yet), but some like 2 / 3 Finger Swipe Down can actually be useful.
